Nuclear decay and fusion dynamics constitute central pillars in modern nuclear physics, with implications ranging from energy production and astrophysical phenomena to the synthesis of novel elements.

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

Scientists have gained insights into the weak nuclear force from new, more sensitive studies of the beta decays of the 'mirror' nuclei lithium-8 and boron-8. The weak nuclear force drives the process ...

Isotek Systems, in partnership with TerraPower Isotopes, co-created by Bill Gates, are “producing cancer treatment material ...

Particle and nuclear physics evokes evokes images of huge accelerators probing the extremes of matter. But in this round-up ...

In this lesson, students will simulate the randomness of decay in radioactive atoms and visualize the half-life of a sample radioactive element. This lesson can be completed in two (2) 45-minute class ...

Researchers develop a method to count thorium-229 nuclear ticks, paving the way for high-precision nuclear clocks and sensors.

Nuclear power wasn't the invention of a single genius mind, rather, it was the product of many of the greatest minds from the ...

Nuclear waste. We've all heard about it, but what is it? Is it a problem without a solution? How big is the problem? And what exactly is this waste and why is it so important? New Atlas takes a look ...
